Complete Question

In an action movie, the villain is rescued from the ocean by grabbing onto the ladder hanging from a helicopter. He is so intent on gripping the ladder that he lets go of his briefcase of counterfeit money when he is 130 m above the water. If the briefcase hits the water 6.0 s later, what was the speed at which the helicopter was ascending?

Answer:

The speed of the helicopter is u  =  7.73 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The height at which he let go of the brief case is  h =  130 m  

    The  time taken before the the brief case hits the water is  t =  6 s

Generally the initial speed of the  briefcase (Which also the speed of the helicopter )before the man let go of it is  mathematically evaluated using kinematic equation as

      s = h+  u t +  0.5 gt^2

Here s  is the distance covered by the bag at sea level which is zero

      0 = 130+  u * (6) +  0.5  *  (-9.8) * (6)^2

=>    0 = 130+  u * (6) +  0.5  *  (-9.8) * (6)^2

=>   u  =  \frac{-130 +  (0.5 * 9.8 *  6^2) }{6}

=>   u  =  7.73 \  m/s

The first law of thermodynamics relates the heat transfer into or out of a system to the change of internal and the work done on
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The heat transferred into the system is 183.5 J.

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics relates the heat transfer into or out of a system to the change of internal and the work done on the system, through the following equations.

ΔU = Q - W

where;

ΔU  is the change in internal energy

Q is the heat transfer into the system

W is the work done by the system

Given;

ΔU = 155 J

W = 28.5 J

Q = ?

155 = Q - 28.5

Q = 155 + 28.5

Q = 183.5 J

Therefore, the heat transferred into the system is 183.5 J.

If you push a crate across a factory floor at constant speed in a constant direction, what is the magnitude of the force of fric
poizon [28]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push

Explanation:

Since the crate moves at a constant speed, there is no net acceleration and thus, my push is balanced by the frictional force on the crate. So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.

Let F = push and f = frictional force and f' = net force

F - f = f' since the crate moves at constant speed, acceleration is zero and thus f' = ma = m (0) = 0

So, F - f = 0

Thus, F = f

So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.
